Khartoum – Sudan Now
Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, head of Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council and commander of the Sudanese army, said authorities were preparing to launch what he described as an inclusive political dialogue inside Sudan aimed at shaping the country’s future political transition.
Speaking in an address marking Eid al-Adha, Burhan said the planned dialogue would involve what he called “those truly concerned with Sudan’s future,” while rejecting outcomes from political meetings held outside the country.
Burhan said Sudanese people would not accept “imposed solutions” or political arrangements linked to foreign agendas, according to remarks carried by state media.
The comments come as regional and international mediation efforts aimed at ending the war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces continue to face repeated setbacks amid divisions among Sudanese political and civilian groups.
Burhan said the government would invite what he described as national political forces to participate in the dialogue, excluding groups “whose hands are stained with the blood of the Sudanese people.”
He also pledged government support for the political process and the implementation of its outcomes.
The Sudanese military leader praised public support for the army during the conflict, describing it as essential to preserving Sudan’s unity and stability, while reaffirming the continuation of military operations against the RSF.
Debate over Sudan’s post-war political transition has intensified in recent months amid growing domestic and international calls for a negotiated settlement to end the conflict and rebuild state institutions.
